The rhodium-catalyzed oxidative 1:2 coupling reactions of arylboronic acids or their esters with alkynes smoothly proceed to produce the corresponding annulated products. Of special note, highly substituted, readily soluble, and tractable anthracene and tetracene derivatives can be obtained selectively from 2-naphthyl- and 2-anthrylboron reagents, respectively.
The rhodium-catalyzedoxidative 1:2 coupling reactions of arylboronic acids with alkynes effectively proceeds in the presence of a copper−air oxidant to produce the corresponding annulated products. Of special note, anthracene derivatives can be obtained selectively from 2-naphthylboronic acids.

The decarboxylativecoupling of diversely substituted benzoic acids with internal alkynes proceeds smoothly in the presence of a [RhCl(cod)]2/1,2,3,4-tetraphenyl-1,3-cyclopentadiene catalyst system to selectively produce highly substituted naphthalene derivatives. The catalyst system is applicable to constructing anthracene and benzo[c]thiophene frameworks through reactions of naphthoic and thiophene-2-carboxylic
